Radiotoxicity in robotic radiosurgery: proposing a new quality index for optimizing the treatment planning of brain metastases

BACKGROUND: As irradiated brain volume at 12 Gy (V12) is a predictor for radionecrosis, the purpose of the study was to develop a model for Cyberknife (CK) plans that is able to predict the lowest achievable V12 at a given tumor size and prescription dose (PD), and to suggest a new quality index reg...
